Blazing fireball meteors have been reported in the sky over the Bristol Channel.

Several people have reported large, burning objects, brighter than normal meteors, falling from the sky.

Wales Online reports people across the country and further afield have taken to social media to describe what they saw, while the UK Meteor Network reported more than 100 sightings of the meteors across the UK.

The fireballs were spotted from Cardiff to Porthcawl and across the Bristol Channel early on Saturday morning.

Danny McPhillips wrote on Facebook: “Just seen a meteor over Cardiff.”

John Homewood posted: “Wife saw meteor streaking east to west in southern sky from Cardiff at about 7.14. Burned white into green.

Meanwhile David Pass posted: “Seen it very clearly at Porthcawl this morning, very bright burning white.”

Two blazing fireball meteors were seen plummeting to Earth were captured on a camera in southern England and meteors were spotted from Falmouth to Herne Bay, south Wales, and as far north as Lancaster.

Meanwhile, as many as 163 members of the public reported the sightings to the American Meteor Society (AMS), with some coming as far away as Nantes in France.

Several people, included those in Hampshire village Church Crookham and Wilcot in Wiltshire, captured videos of a large bright object falling from the sky.

In the video, an object is seen to flare up before dwindling away.

The first reported sighting was made just before midnight on Friday (November 24). A second fireball sighting came at 7.12am on Saturday (November 25).

The majority of people on AMS’s website said they saw “bits flying off behind it” with one saying they saw a “few flashes as if it exploded a few times”.
